UR Pulley:What Size Belts.....?

I wanted to get the UR Crank Pulley for my 2002 Maxima, what size belts do I need because I don't see it on custommaxima's website . Thanks, and is this a good mod to do? Meaning, is it worth the money. I bought the UR pulley for my 92 gxe last year, and didn't really feel much of a difference. What kinda gains am I looking at on the 02. Thanks, and don't forget the belt sizes for those who has the UR Pulley.

From one of the How-Tos in the Stickies:

http://www.greghome.com/Greg%27s%20G...xSE/2K2UDP.htm

It was discovered that the serpentine belt (K060408) used for the VQ30 install fit the VQ35 fine, but the power steering belt was a little bit too small, so we replaced it with a Gates K040300.
From what I've heard, I think its really only worth it if ya have a manual (ideally with a lighter flywheel too) and/or heavily modded already....

Oh yeah, but lemme just add that tons of people disagree with what I said and say that you'll see immediate gains on the low end regardless... maybe once ya get it installed, you can let us know what ya think.... all the best...

I replaced my belts with the GATES K060408 & K040300. The pulley does make a difference.

Most noticable gain- when you put on the AC there is WAY less drag on the engine vs no AC- this is especially true on the 3.0Ls. I can't tell my AC is even on most of the time. I have had mine for a long time now, with no issues. I will repleace my belts again this week sometime probably as my alternator is dying- battery light comes on every few days for a few seconds when I 1st fire the car up cold in the morning. 103K miles is enough to do that to my alternator, especially since I had all kinds of sound systems runing through it.
